Wrestling allows you to embrace a full-body workout and incorporate every muscle group in any given session. Rather than pumping out legs and chest on repeat, you can experience a well-rounded workout with every class.

Increased Strength and Endurance

The short, fast bursts are a great tool for increasing lung capacity and encouraging a healthy heart. While you’re working out, your heart works hard to pump blood and oxygen to your muscles. Because wrestling incorporates so many muscle groups, you’ll start to build a stronger heart to keep up.
